new one for a contest :)

[markb]

OK here's a new one I'm submitting for a local contest. Ain't finished yet (clean up some playing, friend doing bass, adding some violin, etc.) but this is basically it. Probably not the best thing I ever wrote (which ain't saying much) but its the newest, so good enough. Wot d'yer think??? [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: new one for a contest

Thanx, guys, glad you liked it! I never thought of it as shred, I suppose, but thanks. Old school eh? ya whippersnapper [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] *sigh* I didn't play guitar at all for much of the 90's, or even listen to music much. When I started playing again, It felt to me like starting with a blank slate i.e. like I didn't sound like anything in particular, or even want to play anything in particular. I have since had people mention I play like I'm lost in the 80's, so I guess I must sound like that, but I can't really tell myself. A bad one, that is, no one mistakes me for Vai or Lynch!!

Nice old school riffage man! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] very tasteful soloing as well, nice job! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

I found the part that starts at 3:20 pretty cool also, was unexpected but enjoyed!

I think the song is PERFECT.

The recording is VERY, VERY well done. I like how the mix is perfect regarding levels and polyphony...

The guitar playing is superb too. It made me think a little of Steve Morse in some parts...

I am deeply impressed.

I am always impressed. We share the same story, I put the guitar down for the 90's and am battling way out of the 80's at the moment.

I am looking int a pod and will try to record soon.

Again, nice work

Re: new one for a contest

Hey dude, you've been gone for a long time it seems...hope everything is well.

Ha Ha there we iz, stuck in the 80's with no hope in sight, is that it?? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Been playing much lately?? Pods are fun alright.The tone is only so-so I guess, but the convenience makes up for it. Get the new XP or whatever, don't get the 2.0.

Oh well, if you played like you were in the 2000's you'd have to tune down to Zb and get some extra stupid face piercings, so maybe you're in a good place [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I haven't really had any time to do anything lately. We're actually very busy again at work(and it's hard to turn down any work when a year ago it was very scary because of the economy. I've got some ideas I have been putting down but nothing complete yet. I have to say though, I love my POD XT!!!

Great stuff Mark!!
